Samsung has unveiled its 2016 flagship handsets today and they're everything we expected them to be, and then some. The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge have been announced today, last year Samsung also launched the Galaxy S6 edge+ a few months later, it was essentially the Galaxy S6 edge but with a larger display. Considering the fact that the Galaxy S7 edge already has a 5.5-inch Quad HD display there doesn't seem to be much room in the lineup now to squeeze in a Galaxy S7 edge+ as well. If you're wondering how the two handsets stack up, check out the comparison table below.
